It is the dream state
that drives this note to letter. The
mathematics in a product that the old c-prompt would laugh and invoke that
c-prompt was stupid. My mind in that was
of character, the breakdown was my life.
As starter the picture was as a moving film, in deaf character the
numbers beautified each pixel developing the corresponding number and as the
cleat of that computation grabbed as an edge the screen would volume to a
dimension view just as the tab shows on the laptop, by design this process came
to a better cleat. No sharp up and down
screen interruption, no on and off button to reboot, no pause, the fluidity was
engaging.
I stayed with the
particular calculation until my mind began to wane and upon such I thought, as
the thunk started the computation did not pause or jumble, there was not a
riddle to be solved, the beauty was undeniable, I fell to no bridge, there was
only cadence.
Love could not compare to
this status of deep state dreaming, this was the ultimate death, the imagined,
the sight of what I think to think of death itself in thought of script to
angle triathlon as more than not less than by just happens. Rolling numbers is not included, it is not a Rolodex
with addresses that have not been calculated, Pi would blush and physics would
find that string would have tangled, deeper the stride of nothing granted this
pleasure for that would have only delivered abrupt.
The volume was not of
sound that did not confuse some overcast sounding board, the calculation lay
upon no board, the background was not space, it was the greater depth of
sight. As I speak no word to microfilm
the scene develement was not edited nor was in development, it was life of
thwarted touch, the glass was not broken by my eye for the blink did not
involve. There was no cast upon darkness
the light was as close to a laptop screen in the depth of it’s beauty in a
darkened room. The verse was not used in
word to sentence, the punctuation used in understood gave the cadence of
science a laboratory kind, the sediment of our brain is not a tack of bridle
less thought with D.N.A. attachments’ for slow boats of junk. The Junk must calendar a darkroom, the
aperature was in such silence that there was not a click of information stored,
the pixel was as grand as the key itself, I gave to nothing as it was me, I
stored nothing as I wrote to the grace of no board, the fact that no dimension
could have been in such settlement of mind, I grace to the aptitude, it was the
f-stop!!
Wise making to that full
time, to savor this now is to comprehend every written note, not as music, not
as flow, not as singing, not as show, it was the number, the prose of
mathematics in the ocean of method, this was the fly. An eye of that demonstration blocked in a
flatter magnitude would give to the vivid imagination of any that would read this
today on the 1st of May this Wednesday of grace to napkin only the
bare view so that dinner this evening will only stage your conversation, this
my friend is not the dear among the darling, nor is the sweet among the bee
hives nest. My dear and random friend,
this was the beginning, the list was no light needed as the blink was no longer
nothing and neither was the stare, this was full sight with no requirement, not
lease to breathe for it was the extent of the scene to the computation to the
description of number to seat, this was raised.
This was the mind of a brain inside of my skull that my shoulders did
not bold, this was not a test, this was the most fragile dream of perfecting
only one thing, meeting time, sending The Ages a fragment of goodbye to
calculate this wonder as a computer would have rowed across the study, this was
not magic, this was me in the sleep of a gentle night after a day of longing
comprehension and not biblical verse, this was cumulative factor of all the fear
of all the religions and their scary stories of “End Times”, this was death,
this was grace, this was why people should have met more than had way, this was
the end of mankind, this was the end of what is a life for, for in death I saw
life and in life I stated eternity with the c-prompt as once upon a story as
the start.
There were no cords, no remote, the view was not a script of preconceived idea's of past religious flip or scribe among a card plan, this was the beautified of space flight as the geese in a shape that the letter scribe, this was nature in a core. These ease of written speaks is not the better of what a shape lettered to cork a brief bottle of reserve, these seen, this is not the computation of what cannot measure a liter for that would take a cup of what Pyrex already made ready so that I may bake cookies, this was new. Never in my state of mind in a dream have I ever woke with such relief, wait, I have come to a cork that champagne only gave wine to as that dream was something else, an imposing factor. The difference between that dream of infinity and this of pure calculus was as the gravel among the granite timbers in a European stilt of those broken down ruins, yes, the ruins. From instant to flight card the difference is not even NASA on a Moon landing, this was as NASA made it happen, through the handwork of many people as it was not the astronauts that gave NASA it's grip to land a moon, it was the team, the endeavour, it was because Kennedy said in a speech in 1962 and grew the heat of my thought from the day of my first sight of a single stone as the pebble would not do for I could not skip the pebble at the river's edge, it was the known, the fountains said, it was the ledge that my thought knew, it was more than the buffalo, it was more than a creek, it was not even a lake of oceans lagoon, it was space itself, it was my dream in level form from where the men would not have corn, it was the storm as the eye of such has not limit to it's touch and yet the gathering of such must use the earth and wind, the plight of circumstance and down pressure, it was the twister that gave rise to so much that this reality was the dream of the reel that I have been filming in my blink my entire life.

Dewey was born in Adams Center, New York,
the fifth and last child of Joel and Eliza Greene Dewey. He attended
rural schools and determined early that his destiny was to reform
education of the masses.[1]
He briefly attended Alfred University (1870),[2]
then Amherst College, where he belonged to Delta Kappa Epsilon, and from which he earned a bachelor's degree in 1874 and a master's in 1877.

Education and personal life
While still a student, he founded the Library Bureau, which sold high-quality index-cards and filing-cabinets, and established the standard dimensions for catalog cards.[3]
As a young adult he advocated spelling reform; he changed his name from the usual "Melville" to "Melvil", without redundant letters, and for a time changed his surname to "Dui".[4]
From 1883 to 1888 he was chief librarian at Columbia University. During his time as director of the New York State Library (1888–1906) Dewey established a program of traveling libraries. From 1888 to 1900 Dewey served as secretary and executive officer of the University of the State of New York.
In 1895 Dewey founded the Lake Placid Club with his wife Annie. He and his son Godfrey had been active in arranging the Winter Olympics which took place at Lake Placid—he chaired the New York State Winter Olympics Committee. In 1926 he went to Florida to establish a new branch of the Lake Placid Club.
Dewey married twice, first to Annie R. Godfrey, and then to Emily McKay Beal.[5] He and his first wife had one child, Godfrey. Dewey became a member of the American Library Association's Hall of Fame in 1951.
He died of a stroke in Lake Placid, Florida.[5]
Work
Dewey was a pioneer in American librarianship[6] and an influential figure in the development of libraries in America in the late 19th and early the 20th century.[7] He is best known for the decimal classification system that many public and school libraries use. Among his other innovations was the idea of a state library operating as the controller of the state's school and public library services.[8] In Boston, Massachusetts, he founded the Library Bureau, a private company "for the definite purpose of furnishing libraries with equipment and supplies of unvarying correctness and reliability."[9] Its investigative unit, devoted to studying the best practices of library loss-management, circulation and data retention, recovered 3,000 books in its first year of existence.[10] Dewey's Library Bureau company is also said to have introduced hanging vertical files, first seen at the Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.[11] In 1905, Dewey established the American Library Institute which was an organization conceived to provide for the investigation, study and discussion of issues within the field of library theory and practice.Dewey Decimal Classification

Dewey copyrighted the system in 1876. This system has proved to be enormously influential; though many American libraries have since adopted the classification scheme of the Library of Congress, Dewey's system remains in widespread use.[15][16]
American Library Association
In 1877 Dewey moved to Boston, where he founded and became editor of The Library Journal, which became an influential factor in the development of libraries in America, and in the reform of their administration. He was also one of the founders of the American Library Association, of which he was secretary from 1876 to 1891, and president in 1891 and 1893.[7]School of Library Economy

During the period from 1888 to 1906 Dewey was also director of the New York State Library, and until 1900 he was secretary of the University of the State of New York as well. In that function he completely reorganized the state library, making it one of the most efficient in America, as well as established the system of state travelling libraries and picture collections. In 1885, he founded the New York Library Club there.[9]
Traveling libraries
Community libraries began to flourish in the early nineteenth century. The West opened to expansion and further exploration, and people wanted services and opportunities to move with them. In New York, Melvil Dewey had "initiated a program of traveling libraries-collections of one hundred books sent to communities without public libraries."[23] His efforts spurred other state organizations and private individuals to create traveling libraries. Increased library services to small or rural communities and underserved populations fortified the efforts of many to seek out education and self-improvement.Metric system advocacy
As an enthusiastic supporter of the decimal metric system of weights and measures, Dewey established in 1876 the American Metric Bureau.[24] Dewey also served once again as its secretary.[25] He edited the Bureau's official publication, the Metric Bulletin (later called Metric Advocate), first issued in July 1876. Later in his life he was member of the Advisory Board of the All-America Standards Council (a California-based organization that promoted metrication for all countries in the Americas) and he functioned as member of the Advisory Board and chairman of the Metric Education Committee in the American Metric Association (today the U.S. Metric Association).[26]Other Reforms and the Lake Placid Club
Lake Placid from the Whiteface Mountain gondola.
Spelling Reform: His theories of spelling reform (to which end he founded the Spelling Reform Association in 1886)[9] found some local success at Lake Placid: there is an "Adirondak Loj" in the area, and dinner menus of the club used his reformed spelling. A September 1927 menu is headed "Simpler spelin" and features dishes like Hadok, Poted beef with noodls, Parsli or Masht potato, Butr, Steamd rys, Letis, and Ys cream. It also advises guests that "All shud see the butiful after-glo on mountains to the east just before sunset. Fyn vu from Golfhous porch."
Other Reforms: Lake Placid also acted as a conference center hosting meetings promoting reform movements, such as the September 1899 conference on "home science" chaired by Ellen Swallow Richards, a pioneer of what later came to be called "home economics".[27]
Dewey was an early promoter of winter sports in Lake Placid and was active in arranging the 1932 Winter Olympics there. He also was a founder of the Lake Placid Club Education Foundation in 1922. Under his leadership the Northwood School (Lake Placid, New York) prospered. He was also a founder of the Adirondack Music Festival in 1925, and served as a trustee of the Chautauqua Institution.
In 1926 he established a southern branch of the Lake Placid Club in Florida. Dewey supported the idea of Lake Stearns in Florida formally changing its name to Lake Placid, Florida.
Controversies
Dewey established a pattern of making powerful enemies early in life, and many of his friends found him difficult as well.[28] As one biographer put it, "Although he did not lack friends, they were becoming a little weary of coming to his defense, so endless a process had it become."[29]Sexual harassment
Another biography refers to Dewey's "old nemesis—a persistent inability to control himself around women" as a chronic cause of trouble on the job.[30] For decades, Dewey engaged in “unwelcome hugging, unwelcome touching, certainly unwelcome kissing” with women subordinates and others, according to biographer Wayne A. Wiegand.[31] When Dewey opened his School of Library Economy at Columbia College to women it was rumored that he asked for their bust sizes with their applications. Though the rumor turned out to be false he did require a photograph from each female applicant since "you cannot polish a pumpkin".[32] In 1905 during a 10-day trip to Alaska sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), a group he co-founded, he made unwelcome advances on four prominent librarians who informed Association officials. As a result, Dewey stepped down from active participation in the ALA.[32] Reports, allegations, and an investigation of Dewey's inappropriate and offensive behavior directed at women continued for decades after his departure from ALA.[33][34][32] In 1930, he paid $2,000 to settle a lawsuit by a former secretary alleging sexual harassment.[32]Antisemitism and racism
The Lake Placid Club banned Jews, blacks, and others from membership, a policy written by Dewey.[35] In 1904 the New York State Board of Regents received a petition demanding Dewey's removal as State Librarian because of his personal involvement in the Lake Placid Club's policy of excluding Jews and other religious and ethnic groups. While the Regents declined to remove Dewey, they did issue a public rebuke, and in the summer of 1905 he resigned as a result.[36][37]Selected publications

The Stream Within The Line To Circle Infinity S pined
Posted 19th May 2014
The Secret of the Universe is Choice
by I, Karen A. Placek
Sent from the Source to show of a Course,
the trip was exhausting to lend a great strength,
ignored for the difference of exposing the brink,
the locks were not broken the key was the drink.
Bottomed to low in amply so known,
to look for the reason of such exposed bone,
the marrow of streaming from what is not shown,
for in the Past lending the loan became droned.
Example to present the careful consider,
that many have spoken and been laid in the hither,
to seek with the silent approach of just lot,
the park was a stay for the watch beget Talk.
Round in a global quiet of walk,
in only the Mind of the third it was shock,
the counter did nothing but wrote without blocks,
in more of the said it showed only sped.
No fear became reading the written in do,
a bit of strange spooking but followed on true,
the weight of the baster in now buttered bread,
such countenance enamored the County of fed.
Questions of morning to statements of learned,
the Moon answered best in the evening of rest,
formed to protect the signal of vest,
the conduit received without any test.
The education not had included arrears,
so naturally being the grip of the years,
ridden with grace to ensure a good race,
the dreams became wishes that reality did face.
Griffin in Nature a Unicorn of Case,
the lives in the lived performance of shive,
the letters did add extremely to fast,
the answer was given in question did ask.
No note to the former 'cause I did not know,
and I love to question to hear the voice show,
the lips as the move tell in a do,
is this the truth of the real of due.
Backed up to corner the Wild was seen,
approach with out doubt but oddly it's proud,
as if the known stature was pleased with the tree,
the roots were so deep it almost said neat.
No potting for field the hoe aired it well,
the rows were the crops of stanza's in lots,
a disc of the preambled watered the gear,
the heard made the set of the zero in gear.
The spin of the circle in line of a steer,
made counting infinite to absolute lear,
great thinking advised than came the near,
the times Versed Bahut and the Ve pointed clear,
to the U of the A in the E of the key.
